"I'm too poor so I haven't made a single giveaway" - I think you missed that part, I'm not exactly rolling in money either but here's my thought: If I give up a single Double Quarter Pounder w/ cheese for a day, I can gift someone a cheap game or a good game that is on sale.

winning 400-600$ worth of games and then giving nothing, that's unreasonable.
contributor giveaways are here to encourage people to be more charitable. get browser plugin to hide them if they bother you so much that you have to whine on the forums.

It's not unreasonable to never contribute at all. Contributing isn't required, it's purely optional. That said, I don't take issue with contests open to contributors where the margin is set high. That's a perk for the big contributors as are the contributor only contests. It's a contest people.

Would u whine if u had to give 1000 to win portal?:-)..

A lot of us will never reach a level of 400-600 but I don't see the problem. Why should generous people not get an advantage sometimes? They are generous, so they earned a little present themselves.

the 1$ giveaways are more senseless in my opinion ...
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't see the problem. OF COURSE they could buy the game for themself but If you really think that way they are nothing else but spenders. "You have money...you give it to us but you get nothing in return". However someone who never gives anything still has lots of free giveaways. Someone who never gives can only win. A Contributor,especially the big ones,lose money here. So even if its just fortix some of them might be happy to win something.
Sgifts is a community,not the charity

Winning games is fun, even if you give away a lot. I'm a poor student and I can give a little bit of stuff away every month, so it's not like only rich guys can have $1000+ contributor value. It just takes a bit more time for those without a fat wallet.
And besides, it's called SteamGifts, not SteamCharity.

if someone wants to make a contributor giveaway that requires 400$ for entry he should made giveaways for like 200$ first btw
Comment has been collapsed.
^ I agree. It's the giveaway maker's decision. No one else has any right to tell them who to give their games to. "Unreasonable" the OP says... Really? You're at a site where you get free stuff and you can say "unreasonable"? Some people these days...

This is reason why i am doing only High Contributor giveaways if people can't say "free" thank you , than i wont make free giveaways.
Comment has been collapsed.
Why do people care to hear "Thanks" a hundred times? Besides, just so you know, I used the Steam App a few times to enter giveaways and there was no ability to leave a comment...should I be penalized for using an app?
I'm not agreeing with the OP (he's an idiot), just saying, number of comments don't mean shit.

If you are using the android app you can, not sure on iPhone. On the android when you are viewing the giveaway info in the upper right corner is a little edit like button which will bring you to the comments with a reply button :)
Took me a little to figure it out so just wanted to pass it on.

Interesting, I'll have to check it out. I know they released an update maybe a week ago that added the forum and comments, but when I went to it, there is the word "Reply" underneath each comment (like online), but I couldn't actually click on any of them.
Comment has been collapsed.
Haven't checked the forums on it, so can't say anything about that. I did notice the giveaway commenting after that update, so maybe they did just add it as I hadn't used the app in weeks before that.
Comment has been collapsed.
I disagree. As other people have stated many times before me, copy-pasting the same "Thanks!" reply that the creator probably won't even read isn't exactly being "decent." I really only say thanks when the game is more than $20 or so, and I always write a custom thank you.
Comment has been collapsed.
Still, a 4% comment rate is... beyond sad considering the entitled bitching coming from OP.
Don't comment much? Ok.
Don't give any games away? Hey, maybe you can't afford it, or you don't have a credit card or Paypal (like, if you're a kid), I can understand that.
Enter close to a thousand giveaways, contribute nothing but 39 comments to the community, and bitching about contributors making giveaways he can't enter? I give zero fucks for OP.
Comment has been collapsed.
Funymunky, so the only giveaways worth saying thanks on are those that are worth more then $20? So you are ungrateful for the little indie games or under $20 games that you enter? You don't think the user is giving away a good enough game to say thanks for? Fantastic. I truly am glad i only do contributor giveaways.

You had enough money to buy the CoD games, which are not the cheapest in the world.
Stop complaining. No one wants to hear it. People can do what they want with their games. You are lucky there are people decent enough to actually give away $400+ in games.

I hate that there are tons of contributor giveaways which require 400-600$. I can't imagine why would someone make a giveaway like that. It's liek saying 'You can have a chance of winning a free chewing gum, but ONLY if you're rich'. It's not bugging me because I want to enter them, because I'm too poor so I haven't made a single giveaway, but this amount of money is just unreasonable IMO.
